Olga Meerson (1882-1930) besuchte bereits als Jugendliche die Moskauer Hochschule für Malerei, Bildhauerei und Architektur. Einige Jahre später gehörte sie neben Gabriele Münter zu den weiblichen Mitgliedern der Malakademie, die Wassily Kandinsky Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in München gründete. Nachdem sie 1904 von München nach Paris gegangen war, gelang es ihr in den folgenden Jahren mehrmals, mit ihren Werken im berühmten Pariser Salon d'Automne vertreten zu sein. Bekannt war sie zu Lebzeiten insbesondere für ihre Porträtmalerei. Heute ist sie so gut wie vergessen.

Birth control is not an invention of modern times, nor is it a purely personal matter. By the same token, mighty institutions such as church and state have exerted their influence as effectively as that of doctors, population theorists, and the early pioneers of the feminist movement; all of these claim a special expertise in matters of ethics and morality, and so shape the discourse on birth control. The focal point of this engaging new book by renowned historian, Robert J tte, is the Europe of modern times. It also takes in its scope various cultural groups elsewhere in America, China,...

Besitzvermerke in den wenigen Büchern, die jüdische Emigranten nach 1933 auf der Flucht mitnehmen konnten,liefern Hinweise darauf, wie es ihnen im Exil ergangen ist. Bücher, ob ganze Bibliotheken oder einzelne Bände, die Emigranten oder Opfern der Shoah gehörten, sind "stumme Überlebende", wie Lucy Dawidowicz es einmal formuliert hat. Sie vermögen bisher unerzählte Geschichten in Erinnerung zu rufen. Die hier getroffene Auswahl aus einer Privatsammlung legt Zeugnis von insgesamt zehn Einzelschicksalen ab, darunter mehrheitlich von Überlebenden, aber auch von einem jungen Berliner...

This path-breaking book examines our attitudes to the senses from antiquity through to the present day. Robert Jutte explores a wealth of different traditions, images, metaphors and ideas that have survived through time and describes how sensual impressions change the way in which we experience the world.


Throughout history, societies have been both intrigued or unsettled by the five senses. The author looks at the way in which the social world conditions our perception and traces the 'rediscovery' of sensual pleasure in the twentieth century, paying attention to...

Throughout history governments have had to confront the problem of how to deal with the poorer parts of their population. During the medieval and early modern period this responsibility was largely borne by religious institutions, civic institutions and individual charity. By the eighteenth century, however, the rapid social and economic changes brought about by industrialisation put these systems under intolerable strain, forcing radical new solutions to be sought to address both old and new problems of health care and poor relief. This volume looks at how northern European governments of...

This study provides an accessible and authoritative account of poverty and deviance during the early modern period, informed by those new perspectives on the role of the poor themselves in the provision of welfare services characteristic of much recent social history. Contrary to the once-traditional historical emphasis on the ameliorative role of individual reformers, Professor JUtte's account looks much more closely at the poor themselves, and the complex network of social and communal relationships they inhabited.

This collected volume is dedicated to Prof Hans Otto Horch on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Prof. Horch has done much to enrich the academic processing of the history of German-Jewish literature and culture. The wide range of his interests is reflected in these papers by internationally-renowned Germanists, historians and cultural researchers, who are concerned with Jewish identity against the background of Jewish-Christian relations in the German-speaking world from the Early Modern Age up to the present day.
